Be Careful What You Wish For

HelloooooooI know it has been a while since my last post, but grad school is still very much kicking my ass, haha. I was working from home, which was great because I got to focus more on school. It wasn't until I started working from home that I realized how much time out of my...

Relationships

Hello, all!I am back again to rant about random things going on in my life. Now, I can be honest… I am very selfish. A part of me wonders and worries if this trait will ever go away. While another part of me says, "eh, you're still in your 20's."I cannot stand having to quell...

Give me a break

I feel as though every time I finally have the time [energy] to check in, it's because I am about to complain about something lol. BUT, that is kind of why I made this blog, to blow off steam and get things off of my mind. I am so backed up between work and school,...

What’s next?

I'm ready to get out of the house! I do prefer to stay in the house for the most part, but this is becoming too much. I did read something about stay-at-home orders being extended, don't know what to make of that. I *have* learned a few new things about myself during my time spent...

SIGH

So it is day fifty-leven of social distancing and I'm all for the "greater good," but I sure am bored. Thank God, unlike a lot of other New Yorkers, I don't live in an apartment building.... but still. I've done laps around my yard, I've read what feels like every book, I've even turned to...

WTF

So the last time I posted anything on here was March 5th, 2020. My post was about this insane virus that is going around. I, like most of us, only knew what the news reported and followed their very basic suggestions (wash your hands and clean surfaces, frequently). 3 weeks later and wtf.... After watching...

Corona-virus

Helloooooo It has been quite a while since I've done a blog post. Grad school has been kicking my ass. I did not think going to school online and working full-time was going to be so obnoxious. Anyway, I have come up for air and what the hell... should I go right back under? This...

Why

So I decided to go to bible study with my mom the other day - I'll say it was refreshing. Something that the pastor spoke about really stood out to me. He was discussing things that tend to happen when we can't fall asleep at night. Y'know how you sometimes you just can't fall asleep?...

Jumbles

Sometimes I feel as though I am losing my mind. On one hand I feel as though thinking all the time is completely normal. Everyone constantly has thoughts. We are beings who continuously contemplate things. It doesn't seem "normal" to not have a thought in your head at a given time. I just feel as...

Dating

I don't know about anywhere else, but dating in New York City can be entirely too stressful. There's just too much going on, and dating here forces you to understand one of the MANY reasons why this place is infamously called Concrete Jungle. Not sure if there are too many people here, so we look...

What an actual blessing from all the Deities that exist Google is. You can literally look ANYTHING up on google and find an answer. I had to google... "who invented Google" before I started writing this actually, haha. The answer is here, btw. Anyways, I came to this amazing conclusion about Google because my brain switches...

Advice

I think I want to declare 2020 the year of "Doing Your Thing." What ever that means to you is what it shall mean. Only 16 days in and I'm already tired of people. I'm not sure if it's a personality or a star sign thing *rolls eyes* but I am a bit indecisive. It...

Charity

Generous actions or donations to aid the poor, ill, or helpless. Does charity count as socialism? I know that's considered a dirty word here in the U.S. Probably because a lot of people don't realize how much we already incorporate it in our system but whatever. But I'm not here to talk about socialism. How...

Amy Winehouse

I have been on this Amy Winehouse kick recently and it's making me remember why I was so obsessed with her in the first place. Just listen to her music and you can picture all of her potential. Talk about someone being "gone too soon". I remember buying her albums with the little bit of...

Boredom

I turned 26 last year and ever since I have been *so* bored. Is this normal? I'll start consider doing my regular weekend activities (brunches, club, after-party, after-after-party, etc.) and then I stop and question if I'm not too old to be doing these things? I wanted to take a step back from the party...

The Point

What is it? Is there even one to begin with? Did anyone ever figure out the "meaning of life"? I mean, suicidal sh*t aside - sometimes I find myself asking, "what's the point?" We're born, we work, we die.... The End. Well, it's the end if you don't believe in the afterlife, I guess. I...

Happy New Year

Cheers to 2020! I hope everyone is as excited about the New Year as I am ambivalent. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the celebrations (drinking, dancing, acting as if I don't have work the next day) as much as the next person, so believe me when I say I'm not bitter. I just cannot...

Money

My biggest concern as of late... I spent a portion of my Christmas reviewing my IRA - drunk. How can I save more so I can in turn contribute more? Should I continue playing it mostly on the safe side? Is my portfolio diverse enough!? Am I even making enough money to be so focused...
